Hawke's Bay grows more apples, pears and stone fruit than anywhere else in New Zealand. We automate the packing schedules, export paperwork and staff admin behind it.

Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)

Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.

Napier-Hastings, up close.

Farming, horticulture, wine and tourism are Hawke's Bay's key industries, and the region is the country's largest producer of apples, pears and stone fruit, much of it exported through Napier Port.

Napier Port is the main export port for the east coast of the central North Island. Harvest season brings some of Napier Port's highest export volumes.

Built around how New Zealand works.

We find the admin that repeats every week, like payday filing and GST returns, and automate that first so the hours come back fastest.

Payday filing, every payday
GST at 15 per cent
ACC levies set by industry

Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.

Straight answers

What's the realistic timeline for AI efficiency audit with a Napier-Hastings?

Most Napier-Hastings businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational - your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".

Has this actually shipped for a real Napier-Hastings?

Yes. Average pilot saves 8 hours/week within 30 days of launch. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.

What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?

AI efficiency audit is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude, Notion, Loom, Linear, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.

Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?

It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.

What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?

The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
